Wounded Cop Speaks Out
From the Conviction Project Blog (by Martin Preib):
- In preparation for today, I carefully thought what I would say in regards to a man who almost ended my life. The truth is, it's extremely difficult to put into words, my emotions and my thoughts of not only that night, but also the effect the last several years have had on me, my family, and my friends.
On February 21, 2005, a Chicago Police Officer went to work that night, as a man with 11 years of Law Enforcement experience. In those 11 years, he served as a Police officer in multiple jurisdictions, and served communities of people from different races, cultures, religions, and backgrounds. He always strived to maintain a good reputation within those communities, including Chicago, because he believed in the trust that should exist between the Police and the people it serves. And, he always strived to do his job with fairness and compassion. That was one of the Police Officers you encountered that night Mr. Morgan. That was me.
The entire piece is worth a read. Preib has been on fire lately, ripping the Tribune, Eric Zorn, the Reader, Anita Alvarez, Dick Devine, the Northwestern "innocence project" among others. He lays out a case for journalistic and prosecutorial misconduct that should shame all involved and ought to result in numerous indictments and lawsuits by interested parties. Give the entire site a look.

There is a special place in hell for Quinn, right next to Richie Daley.
You named a host of leftest liberals. Those people have no shame. In fact they are incapable of feeling shame. They are leftists.
Quinn what a pos, as usual typical demorat on the side of the criminal the black and brown type that Toni precwinkel says does no wrong! Happy Quinn lost!
Quinn should have to move Morgan into his Galewood home.
Simon's legal team has been researching Zorn's potential liability (and his employer) based on his past dealings
with Protess. Might get interesting.
Last weeks "READER" had an article on the Porter murder conviction. It was a light shining on the incompetence of the States Attorney's office. The evidence against Porter was overwhelming as Prieb has pointed out previously in articles yet he was released and an innocent man was convicted wrongly.
Lawyers, professors, PIs should all be in prison.
civilian city employees are putting free morgan flyers wich read save our black men from prison at HQ vendetteria,I have removed them but this are the same employees that answer your calls in Update unit,Hot Desk.and have your info
please add this site to your police related sites list.
Check out "Crooked City" by Preib, it's a great read.
The offender Morgan was once a Chicago Police officer??? Can anyone out there tell me why he left the job??
I hope that no one votes for Anita Alveraz when she runs for reelection. We need an outsider for that post, someone who is fir and unbiased. Maybe a federal prosecutor would run.Alveraz does not see anything wrong in the Porter case or in the Venecko case. And, those are the egregious ones that we know about. How many more are buried by her office or the media??
Terrific job by Martin Prieb.
One question:How soft was Devine to let the Media get to him and become involved in this "goat Fuck"?

Makes you pay, Eric!
The READER article was ok, but the author fails to solve the mystery of why this happened.
Hint: look at who in that office ok'd dismissing Porter's unrelated armed robbery convictions (potentially allowing him to recover money) and who got what later on in terms of an appointment.
It will come out inevitably in the lawsuits.
don't blame Quinn the idiot...he was just doing what his handler ordered. don't think for a minute that Mr. Dimwit is capable of an independent thought or of making a decision. when that piece of crap morgan screws up again Quinn should be found criminally liable.

Morgan left the job for better opportunity. Unlike most of us that complain and say we're worth a lot better... he left because he found better! Better pay... more time with his family... an employer that showed appreciation! He was not under investigation, nor did he have a dubious history.
Heard him on WVON he is going to sue the police and seek expungement
Morgan pissed hot and quit before he could be fired.
One of the officers that was shot by Morgan was on the news tonight, very sad to have to watch him go through this, again, on camera.
Quinn, you gave your soul away.
You'll never be forgiven.

***************************
The SAO is by no means incompetent, they're swamped by cases and understaffed, have shitty witnesses and not enough cops who say "I did this or I did that.
Instead they get "My partner then did this and we then did that."
As a working officer I KNOW that they're outstanding attorneys who work very hard to seek justice, and are hugely successful at what they do.
Now if your only showing up to 26 & Cal once a month, then I could expect you to have this opinion.
I hope that the FOP is aware that sending nice letters to us, supporting these officer, are just words, and that we're aware that letters and nice words are just that...words.
Do something about it already!!!

You're an idiot. He pissed hot, end of story.
If some one has knowledge of a civilian employee posting political signs ie free Howard Morgan at a dept facility call IAD.
To the Morgan left for a better opportunity poster. Youre a civilian, or a rookie. He left with 8 and a half years on the job. So he wasn't vested no pension only the less than 10,000 he put in. He had to wait a year and a half to get a partial pension but he didn't? After 7 years in a low paying job he went to work for the rail road police. BNSf doesn't pay better than cpd. Coincidentally back when Morgan left Iad only kept records for 7 years. Find the oldest guys in your district. There are still a couple around who knew Howard Morgan. You might find someone who remembers that Howard Morgan had a connected father and that might remember something about him getting stoped by the state police with a pound of weed in his car and then pissed hot. But none of that was admissible in court because Iad didnt keep records after 7 years, and he didn't get charged because of his father. Oh and if you are the rookie m effer that I think you are resign. We don't want to work with you.
I have nothing but complete respect for the Officers involved in his incident and nothing by complete and utter contempt for Quinn and the piece of shit that shot at our Officers.
Morgan left the job for better opportunity...

Good!
Let Zorn very loudly and publicly get his and his family's life get totally destroyed in the name of "accountability."
...Just like a Policeman if he were even peripherally involved in shit like this.
Let alone being a very partisan main actor...
The height of hilarity seeing Chicago Media having their insulation, immunity and impunity being burned away behind this.
This is as it should be when war is declared against The Police.
Nary a single living ass is safe.
Those who thought and tried to make it so that only Policemen would be "casualties" in this war will come to be sad, sore and sorry for it.
The Police are the enemy?
Viva Hate...

Watch for Zorn to whine about he was just doing his job when THIS shit gets hotted up!
"I wouldn't be getting looked at if it weren't for you mean, hateful, racist, angry cops on that blog."
No pity for you Eric...
You are now considered disposable by the same powers you shilled and carried water for.
And when your narrow ass is finally made to stand in front of the court to give compelled testimony for your actions, your media comrades will "turn their backs" while you're hung out for the crows to pick at by the same powers you carried water for...
Ain't life a bitch?
Your friends, contacts, money...
They will come to mean shit as you're
hung up in the undercarriage of a bus.
Enjoy the ride Eric.
Now is the time for those officers to file a civil suit against that jag bag Morgan and make him pay for there pain and suffering, and civil rights violations out of the money the city is going to pay him.
